the management controller is further configured to acquire configuration information of the backplane from a built-in integrated circuit bus through the management controller when the intelligent device is in a power-on preparation state;
the hard disk management card is further configured to obtain configuration information of the backplane from the management controller after the smart device is in a power-on ready state.
6. The control device of claim 5, the hard disk management card comprising an array card and a host bus adapter,
the array card and the host bus adapter are respectively connected with the management controller;
the array card and/or the host bus adapter communicates with the management controller and acquires the configuration information of the backplane during the firmware starting process.
7. The control device of claim 5, the management controller comprising a baseboard management controller and an integrated management module.
8. The control device of claim 5, further comprising an alert unit configured to suspend the smart device from starting and issue alert information when the power supply capability of the backplane does not meet the power demand of the hard disk.
